mintcollector: hi
maskdbandt: ok if i join you?
mintcollector: sure, been waiting on people
maskdbandt joined the game in slot 3
dingen: I just discovered this game a few days ago and I'm already totally hooked
maskdbandt: cool, thanks
maskdbandt: yeah it's awesome... did you used to play the orig?
mintcollector: I used to play this on the Atari 800 back in 1983
mintcollector: yup
dingen: No, I'd never heard of it before
maskdbandt: yeah i played around that time on commodore 64 computer
maskdbandt: there's nothing like it
mintcollector: I used to this, Rails West, and Archon
mintcollector: *used to play
maskdbandt: archon was cool too... never played rails west... i should look that up
mintcollector: well you want to AI the 4th?
dingen: I haven't played a lot of games that are as old as this one... I've played a lot of games from the late eightees and early ninetees
dingen: Nah
dingen: Lets wait for a human player
mintcollector: ok
dingen: The AI is incredibly lame
maskdbandt: up to you guys... i can wait or not... i prefer humans too
mintcollector: yes, they cheat less
dingen: lol
dingen: The AI will dump anything for ridicously low prices as long as it's above average
maskdbandt: but they changed it up a bit that you have to buy 1 first and then they'll run after you to sell more heh :)
maskdbandt: they also rarely ever buy land
mintcollector: I was owning my first tourney game here Sat. Got hit with 3 bad calamaties and the 2nd place person got a lot of good ones. Lost due to effects by $700 :(
dingen: I hope they'll fix the auction system for buying land in a future version
rocketw31 visits
dingen: It's really strange that you can decide not to purchase a square of land, even if you were the highest bidder
maskdbandt: yeah i don't do that running up thing unless i'm willing to go broke to buy... i don't remember that in the orig
rocketw31 joined the game in slot 4
mintcollector: what is wrong with it...can't recall how it used to be
mintcollector: we al ready?
maskdbandt: exactly... it seems like you couldn't leave the bid off the screen
maskdbandt: yes
dingen: Good luck and lets make this an awesome colony!
Round 1 of 12
maskdbandt: hopefully
dingen: Dont hope
dingen: Just do it :P
maskdbandt: lol
rocketw31: if the game doesnt screw us lol
maskdbandt: crap, almost didn't realize you took the one i wanted, dingen
dingen: close to home is awesome
maskdbandt: i lost last game i played by less than a 150 pts ... closest game i've ever remembered
dingen: I also hope they'll fix this game in a future version for color blind people
dingen: It's impossible for them to play now
mintcollector: I figured you all would be fightinhg for dingen's land, so I took the first :D
maskdbandt: yeah that's true... i never thought about the color blind issue with this game... good idea mint... i wished i would've thought of that heh... ot at least realized i wasn't blue so
maskdbandt: i could pick up that other one
mintcollector: think we all will be fighting for that one :D
maskdbandt: they also could make wampus harder to get like in the orig
mintcollector: yeah, it is too easy here
dingen: But they should raise the prize then too
dingen: It's only 100 or 200 now
dingen: Make 'em harder, but worth 1000, thats what I say
maskdbandt: yeah raises to 300 if any mountains not claimed in round 9
dingen: :(
Round 2 of 12
mintcollector: ouch
rocketw31: thats why i dont mine in the first round
maskdbandt: i like mining first round... not sure why... but i'm always poor... the land is nice to have buying power
rocketw31: unless the comp screws u
dingen: lol
dingen: walk straight, man :P
maskdbandt: like stock burning
maskdbandt: fire heh
mintcollector: I already had a few on the way to the pub
maskdbandt: woohoo ... lucky
rocketw31: christ
mintcollector: LUCKY
dingen: yeah, nice
maskdbandt: pays to be last sometimes i guess
Round 3 of 12
dingen: this music is great
maskdbandt: dingen wil get a good deal on this
mintcollector: hmm
maskdbandt: no?
dingen: nice
mintcollector: yikes
dingen: Haha
dingen: Maybe it's hard enough already :P
maskdbandt: heh maybe they made it harder... i just saw him there
mintcollector: no soup for you!
maskdbandt: never had so much trouble finding wampus until i made that comment lol
rocketw31: lol
maskdbandt: i'm going to have to sell smithore this round... can't stand being poor anymore
dingen: We're going to be out of mules otherwise
dingen: So it's probably best to let the store have some
maskdbandt: but it's nice making it worth 230 each
dingen: sure
maskdbandt: nice!
mintcollector: nice
mintcollector: ouch
maskdbandt: now i get to reap the benefits of being 1st
Round 4 of 12
mintcollector: w00t
maskdbandt: i hope mine is the high :)
dingen: I was doing okay, but now I dont really have a plan anymore
maskdbandt: i have no idea what i'm doing either
maskdbandt: somehow i need $
maskdbandt: i did that las tnight and ended up losing one of my mules (hitting button everywhere) heh
maskdbandt: argh!
rocketw31: lol
maskdbandt: cost me 700
maskdbandt: or 600
maskdbandt: sell
maskdbandt: mint is killing me buying my smithore from me
mintcollector: :D
maskdbandt: you'll be loaded next round
mintcollector: been my plan all along
Round 5 of 12
maskdbandt: i would've paid the low price... why'd you have to move? :)
mintcollector: he wanted it
dingen: I was on the phone doing that turn
dingen: Im impressed with myself :+
maskdbandt: energy 100% every turn... odd
dingen: Maybe because there's lots of energy in the store?
mintcollector: BOO
maskdbandt: there it is for mint
dingen: Finally some cash
maskdbandt: no more cheap land
Round 6 of 12
dingen: ROFL
dingen: The thing just appeared after you left the mountain :P
mintcollector: he popped out right after you left
rocketw31: hes an ass
maskdbandt: especially this game
rocketw31: weak
rocketw31: so much for not fucking the last place guy
rocketw31: shit like that takes me out of it totally at round six...stupid
rocketw31: terrible programming
maskdbandt: yeah there are def flaws in thisgame
mintcollector: hey, I had a game with fires rounds 1 and 3
rocketw31: damn
maskdbandt: and no one sells you food
mintcollector: nope...did not recover til 5
rocketw31: ive had 2 games in a row now where my luck was so bad i couldnt possible win
Round 7 of 12
maskdbandt: i was about to go for that 1 too
rocketw31: one third of my fucking plots arent developed
maskdbandt: if you remember earlier i had 3 empty
mintcollector: yes, and you used ALL the nules
mintcollector: *mules
maskdbandt: lol
maskdbandt: another high
maskdbandt: man
rocketw31: oh fuck u
rocketw31: fucking computers a cunt
maskdbandt: that was prob stupid for me but we'll see
dingen: Hmm... i fucked that up
maskdbandt: you had dibs dingen
Round 8 of 12
maskdbandt: no mules for me this time
maskdbandt: dingen was nice to you, mint! :) not taking the mules
mintcollector: oh I know :D
maskdbandt: something tells me you may not be to me heh :)
dingen: I've never played a game in which I didnt have a good source of crystite
maskdbandt: sweet, thanks!
dingen: So now I dont know what to do
maskdbandt: win the game of course
maskdbandt: also you could've used the mules instead of mint and i
dingen: Yeah, but to me the goal has always been to get a good setup of food/energy and some smithore and then continue to gather crystite
dingen: But I'm failing at the last step :P
rocketw31: i usually just bypass smith lol
maskdbandt: good crystite generally happens with some luck of adjacnet plots, some high, and no pirates
dingen: Thats why we are rich and you are not :+
rocketw31: it shouldnt be that way...games fucked
maskdbandt: no more high prices for smithore now
maskdbandt: now game depends on price and production since all land is taken
rocketw31: random roll resources should always be worth more than knowns
maskdbandt: keep in mind this game is from early 80s
maskdbandt: but just remade with same bad logic :)
Round 9 of 12
maskdbandt: dingen when not much land, you should just hit button constantly just in case
dingen: I accidentally went into the sell land thing :P
dingen: This game takes a lot longer than I would think
maskdbandt: nice everyone is hitting ht ebutton though :) makes it much quicker
Round 10 of 12
maskdbandt: man
mintcollector: maskd one
mintcollector: *won
Round 11 of 12
maskdbandt: sort of depends still if you ask me
maskdbandt: not guaranteed
mintcollector: bonus for me
maskdbandt: i don't get it
maskdbandt: won't they all spoil?
dingen: I think so... not sure what the limits regarding to spoil are
mintcollector: only food and energy spoils
maskdbandt: anything above 50
maskdbandt: they fixed it in this ver
rocketw31: all above 50 spoil
mintcollector: really. well that sucks
maskdbandt: yeah i made that mistake first time i played sinc ethe new ver too
maskdbandt: it actually spoiled your 51 to 50 this round because you had 1 over
mintcollector: well this is my second tourney...learn somethng new I guess
maskdbandt: crystite is same ...spoils over 50
dingen: The total score is still not too bad
Round 12 of 12
rocketw31: ouch
mintcollector: >*{
dingen: I thought the price would have gone up more
maskdbandt: it's like it's stuck , taking so long to spoil
rocketw31: lol
mintcollector: yes, I was busy throwing away all my "spoled" ORE, go figure
dingen: shit
rocketw31: there is no reason to sell...everything is converted to cash
maskdbandt: i got so used to playing that way, it was hard to adjut back to orig
maskdbandt: true
dingen: I used my last turn to swap cryst for smith... but now cryst is worth more
maskdbandt: yeah i tend to always swap my plots for crystite toward end
rocketw31: we could be skipping these
maskdbandt: crystite is like 48 to 148, random
dingen: But because of mint buying all the smith, I thought the price would go up
mintcollector: let's set, 190 units @ 90 ea. $17100 in the crapper
maskdbandt: i wish they would skip auction 12... so pointless! another bad programming thing
mintcollector: *see
rocketw31: yep
dingen: Yeah, they should make a nice finish screen instead of this
maskdbandt: we can add that hypothbetically to see how you ended up
Game Over
Saving score, please wait...
Score saved
maskdbandt: gg all ... was fun!
dingen: Yeah, thanks for playing
mintcollector: second anyways
maskdbandt: with the 17k, would've been really close
rocketw31 left the game
dingen: It's sad our colony was worth more in turn 11 than in 12
rocketw31 was disconnected
mintcollector: thanks for schooling ,e
maskdbandt left the game
